Ted-

This is pretty common. I am doing the same thing on my truck. As you mentioned you just need to make sure that you use a C-channel designed for 1/4" glass (which is the thickness once the metal trim is removed from the glass). I like the look as it is cleaner and looks more modern.

I found my c-channal at a local car show from a vender. I'm sure there are several sources for it. My be Steele rubber products.

Good luck
